Fig. 1 is la face view of a hair curler enibodylng the features of this invention; Fig. 2 is a side view thereof; Fig. 3 is a View of the curler of Figs. I and 2y with the hair 5 Wound thereon; Fig. 4 is a view of the same structure with the hair secured to the curler. Fig. 5 is a face view of a modification of which'Fig. 6 is a side view; Fig. 7 is a face view of a second modification of which Fig. .10 8. is a side View. L

This invention relates articularly to a device for curling bobbed air and has as its special feature a tongue `or arm for holdin t e endsof the hair which lis to be forme into a curl and a plurality of legs or wings which are capable of being bent against the hair 'after the curl is .Wound on the curler to keep it from unwin'ding. The curler is made preferabl from pliable wire which has a coating of'rubber and 'a braided covering. This material is much like the ordinary wire used yin electric wiring, excepting that the metal core therein is made of iron or other cheap alloy instead of copper. The outer braided vcovering which is rough provides and avoid slip ing. A l

In the drawings 1 indicates the hair curler which is made of a flexible material 2 comprised of the above described wire (an internal metal core with a rubber coating and a f braided fabric covering). The body 3- of the curler is provided with the bifurcated legs 4 and 4, which are made continuous of the body. The legs 4, 4*l comprise one end of the curler. extending to one side of the body 3 and the opposite end 5 extending op. positely tothe legs 4 and 4'1. rlhe body 3 is provided with a tongue or arm 6 .and pref. 40 erably is comprised of a separate piece of flexible wire 2 which is secured to the body 3 by means of the staple 7T which has its main portion around the body 3/fand' its ends compressed ti htly around the legs 4 and 4". This staple is preferably located s nearer the end 5 of the curler. than toward 'l the ends of the legs 4 and 4*. In curling 1 thelhair the end of the hair is laid on the body 3 of the curler and the tongue or arm 6 is pressed down upon the hair so that it is held betweenthe body 3 and the tongue or armv 6. The curler is then turned so as tov roll the hair over the tongue or arm and body as illustrated in Fig. 3. The hair,

form one loop o -again at 9 to form the ot er loop of thel 1924'. seranl no. 725,579.

after a sulicient amount thereof has been rolled on the curler, is then secured to the curler and from unwinding by bending'the 'i ends 4 'and 4a of the legs against vthe hair as illustrated in Fig. 4. The end 5 may also be bent over the hair to hold it tightly on the curler and to keep the 'hair which is wound over the tongue .or arm 6 from sli y Singoli the end 5. The legs 4, 4 may e ent to any position over the hair and if curler is made from a single piece of flexible 'l Wire 2, which is bent at 8 and again at the polntf of the'ton e or arm 6 in order to the ton e or arm and tongue or arm 6 land the leg 4. Figs. 7

Vand 8 represent a further modification of a surface which will readily hold the hair' the device in which the curler is made from two like pieces of lexible wire 2 'and thev The main feature of this invention consists in forming a device with the separated legs or wings from a exible material. The le s constitute means by which the operator may hold and turn the curler during the o'perationof winding the hair upon the curland for this purpose the structure of this invention has been lound4 satisfactory. f

What I claim is:

A unitary hair curler com rising a solid body, a tongue, a plurality of egs, a rear end constituting a continuation of the legs, said body, legsandrear end being normally in the same plane, and the tongue lyin normally substantially parallel to the bo y and leg portions' and secured to [the body lnside of the ends thereof and toone sdeor` the winding proceeds and the extreme end oit l@ transverse center line thereof; said body, the tongue during the winding of they hair ton u'e and ends being made of fabric covprojecting freely beyond the curled hair and ere exible material and being bendable affording means to depress the tongue in in all directions, fastening 'meanslxing one order to retain the end offthe hair between end of the tongue to the body and forming said tongue and the body thereof. l5 t with the body means to hold the end ofthe I In testimony whereof I have hereunto set hair between them, the middle portion of my hand.

the tongue being covered by the hair as MILTON MESEROLE.
